Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton will miss Week 9 and likely more with a calf injury he suffered in practice two days ago, head coach Frank Reich said Friday.
"With the information that we have, generally speaking, it's a three-to-four week injury," Reich told reporters, including Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Hilton, a four-time Pro Bowler, leads the Colts in receiving with 360 yards and five touchdowns. Indianapolis has gone 0-5 in games without Hilton since he entered the league in 2012.
The Colts entered November atop a tight AFC South race. Two of their next four games will come against division opponents.
